Will Not Agitate!

Machine loads water then only hums and does not agitate. You can move the timer to spin and the water is pumped out and it spins dry. I have replaced the timer and nothing changed! I have checked all belts and connections. I read that the motor was a reversing motor that would change directions as it agitates .... could the motor be bad and work only in one direction?
Thanks for any comments!

In the circuit there is a module that works the agitation of the machine . It is an electronic device that moves the motor back and forth producing the agitation and is not connected to any other operation. Have it checked by a washing machine mechanic for failure.

Hello Tina Kaha - Often when a unit does not spin, it is because the unit cannot properly drain and dispose of the water and detergent solution. Does the unit make a humming noise? If so, the drainage hose/pump may be clogged and needs to be cleaned. If not, the washer may possibly be experiencing an issue with the door lock assembly, faulty pump, timer or control board not communicating correctly. Because it could be a number of any one of several underlying causes, I would recommend contacting a professional to properly diagnose and repair the unit.
